The YouTube video encoding scheme appears to be the same as the video encoding available through iTunes downloads. There have been a few videos available in this high-definition format for a couple of months now. The videos will resemble real 720p widescreen material. Apparently there is a "hack" that can allow any video recorded at a high enough bitrate to be viewed in high definition. If you attach "&fmt=22" to the end of the URL you can view current video in 720p format. If you attach "&fmt=18" to the end of the URL you can view the video in the 480x360 resolution.
